How do we cope? We cry. Pop pills. Make art. Watch horror movies. 

Join us at The Dowse as we explore themes of escapism with a day of drop-in activations. Choose to step out of your comfort zone, or lean deep into the cosiness. Embrace the strange and grotesque, sculpting your very own “ugly babies” with artist Iann An. Craft your personalised prescription, making polymer clay “pills” based on Brad Logan Heappey’s work. Curl up under a blanket and get knitting. Zone out to YouTube playlists or video games. Get a tattoo.   

What coping mechanism, healthy or unhealthy, do you use to survive contemporary life? Do you disassociate, create vivid imaginary worlds to inhabit, take on the mannerisms of an alter ego, dive deep into pop culture black holes, put together ever more specific playlists, or take to nature? Step into The Dowse and check out of the pressures of everyday life for a day. 

Iann An will be helping visitors embrace the parts of themselves they would usually reject in her hands on sessions, Ugly Baby: A Love Story. In the gallery between 10am - 11.30am and again from 12.30pm - 2pm, join Iann to create your very own strange or grotesque "baby".

Flash Cats tattoo artists will be tattooing on site from 10am - 4.30pm. Tattoos are of varying prices depending on size and can be booked and paid for by cash or bank transfer on the day.
